Because nobody likes Robin.
Is he even Top 50 DC character?

Why do you think Robin has been featured so infrequently in the movies?
- Thread starter Mr. Brown
- Start date
Because to do robin right, and really show the best version of that relationship between he and Bruce and have it grow over time, Robin needs to be about 8 or 9 years old. Maybe 10 or 11 at the most And I think studios are or at least were hesitant to do a comic book movie featuring an actor that young or the idea of the hero of the story, Batman, putting a child in that kind of danger. Doing robin as a teenager changes things. Seeing him as an adult is just weird

I want Robin badly in the movies. It's how you get to more interesting Bat stories. If you want Nightwing and want it to make sense/have impact dikk has to be Robin first, if you want Jason Todd's death and then Red Hood dude has to be Robin first. I don't like Damian Wayne so let's skip that. But I guess the dynamics of the relationship make Bruce look like a weirdo so creators just say nevermind. But I think they should do it, just make him 18+ and go from there. It would make Batman on film more interesting.
I think it's a case of the folks who make the movies not really embracing the full on fukkery of comic book Batman that allowed for him to put a 12 year old orphan in panties and fairy booties and go swinging through Gotham City with him looking for violent criminals to fight.
Exactly
It’s ludicrous as hell. Even people who buy into the crazy idea of Batman might find that craziness a step too far

Their have been multiple cartoon adaptations where robin as seen being "abused" or being fukked up due to his time with Batman.
We have the live action Titans were dikk flatout labels Bruce an abusive father.
Dc films are not made for comic readers. They're made for lowest common detonator in the general public.

Imagine having an unmarried billionaire with no children walking into an orphanage to pick our a supple, flexible young boy around 9 or 10 because he needs to be 'flexible' and eager to learn.
Not only that but now he wants to not only take in a young not only so he can 'train' him in more ways than one but train him to handle Batmans 'lightwork' still putting him in mortal danger more often than not but at worst become a sacrifice/meatshield until that boy turns 17-18 when he realizes that you are not only a manipulative selfish piece of shyt but that at this knowing all he has learned and surviving multiple life/death experience not to mention the psychological trauma inflicted not so much by the villians but by Bats himself that he is better having nothing to do with the guy.
Now make a movie out of that
Oh and it has to be PG13.

Yeah it’s just weird. Again to do it right you gotta show Bruce as being manipulative even if he does have the best intentions at heart. Idk how you do it right and not have Bruce come off as a bit of an a$$holeImagine having an unmarried billionaire with no children walking into an orphanage to pick our a supple, flexible young boy around 9 or 10 because he needs to be 'flexible' and eager to learn.
